In 2001 the pro skaters Marcus Cida and Cezar Gordo in a partnership with Mr. Marloi Dal Pozzolo, Gordo`s father, came up with a project of opening an authentic skate shop.
Cida and Gordo were bothered with the fact that they had to go buy product in skate shops that were not specialised, being served by people who did not understand what they were selling, never had the right stuff (ou material) or couldn`t be bothered with Skateboarding. They did not wait for anyone to solve this problem and decided to start their own skate shop. On May 12, 2001 Matriz Skate shop was inaugurated.

Nine years later on May 18, Rodrigo de Arruda Teixeira, aka Rodrigo "TX", one of the most respected skaters in the world, joined the company adding great strength to the already existing team.

MATRIZ Skate shop is 100% Skate, seeking to satisfy customers with a specialised team care, working with brands that aim towards the development of the skate, always committed to contributing to the growth of the sport, providing skaters and sympathizers with the best products available on the market
